- 304 Stainless Steel Construction
- ASTM A312 Certified
- 73,200 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Corrosion Resistance
Type 304 stainless steel pipe is a versatile austenitic grade valued for its strength and exceptional resistance to corrosion. Its 18% chromium and 8% nickel composition creates a durable, non-magnetic material that performs well across a wide range of temperatures. Conforming to ASTM A312, it is easily welded using common techniques, making it suitable for complex piping systems in industrial environments.
As a small-bore pipe, this 1/4" NPS Schedule 40 size is perfectly suited for applications requiring precise fluid control, such as instrumentation lines, hydraulic systems, and low-pressure chemical transfer. Its clean interior finish and corrosion resistance also make it a reliable choice for small-scale sanitary systems.
